education
noun
. the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university.
Example: Finally, by noting that inverting the roles of U and V would not alter the value of the expression, Green obtained the equation completing the proof of his theorem. Green's Essay is remarkable for a variety of reasons. One of the most significant is Green's modest education. Green was born in 1793 the son of a baker. At the age of eight he was sent to Robert Goodacre's Academy in Nottingham. Challis describes Goodacre as an enthusiastic science teacher 4 and this may well have fuelled Green's interest in physics. However Green only remained at the academy for four terms at which point he returned to work at his father's bakery. He was to receive no further teaching until his move to Cambridge in 1833, five years after the publication of his Essay. In 1807, when Green was fourteen, his father built a windmill at Sneinton, then a village about a mile from Nottingham. He left the bakery to help operate the mill and it is likely that this is where he would have spent calmer days studying mathematics. However, it is not known how Green came acquainted with the advanced mathematics he appeared to be studying - there were still no public libraries at this point.
